REVIEW – My husband and I love to grow our own food. Our gardens have exploded in produce that we can’t consume or give away fast enough. So we have to find a way to preserve it so during the winter months we can have fresh fruit and vegetables. We have always frozen our fruit […]

REVIEW – What’s the worst part of baking messy things? The cleanup, of course. Silicone baking sheets can minimize the mess, but since they’re flat, the goo can still leak and bake onto your pan. Grand Fusion Housewares, a maker of all kinds of home goods, introduced a twist on the silicone baking sheet. Let’s

REVIEW – I may have too many vacuum cleaners. There’s one for the upstairs, another for downstairs, and a few handheld units around the house. I wondered if the new Dyson Humdinger would be a handheld vacuum to rule them all? What is it? The Dyson Humdinger is billed as the most powerful, lightweight handheld

REVIEW – The ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE is a food thermometer and whether you’re a multi-Michelin star chef or a weekend grillmaster, food safety is paramount.

REVIEW: What does the ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 do that other instant-read thermometers don’t do? There is something, and it’s pretty cool. Righties and lefties (hands, and politics) should appreciate the feature. But does it do its main thing well? What is it The ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 is a battery powered, instant-read, probe type cooking thermometer.

NEWS – I may be the last person on the planet who doesn’t own a dishwasher. One of the main reasons I don’t is size. Typical under-the-counter dishwashers take up a lot of space that I don’t have. I have seen countertop models, but they usually need funky water hookups to work. Recently I came

REVIEW – As I type this, it’s August here in southern Indiana where Gadgeteer HQ is located. That means that it’s hot and humid. It also means that my AC runs a LOT and sometimes the house just feels muggy inside. Besides running the AC 24/7 (which isn’t a good idea), is there another way

REVIEW – We recently moved from a two story home with a game room to a single story home with no game room but the same amount of space. I rarely went upstairs unless we were hosting a party and using the game room. Now that we are on a single story, we have a

NEWS – A whisk is a common kitchen tool for avid bakers and cooks. This tool makes mixing liquids easy, but depending on the thickness of the liquid or batter that you’re mixing, you may end up losing some of the mix when it clings to the whisk’s metal loops. That’s where the Whisk Wiper

REVIEW – These things come in waves. OK, that’s my one dad joke per review. Seriously, though, we tend to get a lot of similar products to review simultaneously. Sometimes they are variants of robot vacuums, and on other days it is a collection of power distribution blocks. The flavor of the day today is the

REVIEW – A few months ago, I installed a Honeywell WiFi thermostat in my home. Shortly after summer started, I began to get alerts on my phone from the thermostat about the high humidity in my house. I quickly decided that I needed a dehumidifier. Before I could purchase one, I got the opportunity to

REVIEW: The best thing I can tell you about the Kyvol AF600 air fryer is this – when Kyvol accidentally sent me two of them, my daughter who helped me test it was almost ticked that I was ‘Mr. honest’ and sent one back. She recovered and may be getting a Kyvol. Her help was

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed 1000’s of products in the almost 24 years that the Gadgeteer has been online and of those products, there aren’t many that I can say have changed my life. Ok, that sounds a little dramatic. But it’s true, there are a few products that have actually changed my life for the

REVIEW – Years ago we had a centrifugal juicer designed only for citrus fruit. While I liked the juice, it took up a large amount of space for something we only used occasionally for only a few types of juice. Enter the NutriBullet Slow Juicer, which can juice pretty much any fruit or vegetable. I’m

REVIEW – I was introduced to stand mixers over 17 years ago while creating a wedding registry at Target. The eye-watering price of the brands available back then was a shock, and many of the units on the market still cost a small fortune. However, our wedding-gift stand mixer has lasted all these years, lending

REVIEW – Germs and bacteria are everywhere. They are even on one thing that can kill them – a soap dispenser. We find hands-free soap dispensers in many public restrooms, but I’ve only recently had one in my home. It’s the Simplehuman rechargeable liquid soap dispenser. Let’s check it out. What is it? The Simplehuman
